Where is the OBD2 port located in the Mazda CX 5?

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017

The OBD2 port on a Mazda CX 5 vehicle is located inside the cabin. The OBD2 port is used for performing diagnostics, correcting error codes, resetting lights, and starting the engine. On a 2017 vehicle, the port is specifically located under the left dashboard. Its white color allows for easy and quick identification. To use the port, we must connect it to the computer's diagnostic port, which will read the engine codes and much more through a program. After disconnecting the port, you can use the vehicle normally. The OBD port became mandatory starting in the 2000s.
